There is an entry for Stapleford [Tawney] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ5099/stapleford-tawney/] [accessed 22 June 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Essex, vol. 4, 1956) notes: "The chancel was built about 1220. [...] The font in the form of a Norman column dates from the 19th century but the wooden cover is older." The Main Print Collection of the London Metropolitan Archives, City of London, has a watercolour on paper of ca. 1800 of this church and the 'Norman column' font [Catalogue No. k1247323] [http://collage.cityoflondon.gov.uk/collage/app?service=external/Item&sp=Y1%3A114&sp=28124&sp=X] [accessed 21 April 2012]. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
